Illinois Institute of Technology is a diverse and welcoming community, featuring a campus with students from 89 countries and all 50 states. In 1890 the university was founded with a mission to lift up people of all backgrounds with an education that would help them meet the needs of the age. This mission as an opportunity engine for inclusive excellence holds just as much today as it did then, and ensuring every student at Illinois Tech is afforded that opportunity is why we exist.
